Ari Cheers Hillary's Snowden Attack

Ari Fleischer's Freedom Switch continued from the private sector. The Interceptreported:

Hillary Clinton asserted at Tuesday night’s Democratic presidential debate
that NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden “stole very important information
that has unfortunately fallen into a lot of the wrong hands.”

She seemed to be darkly intimating that the information Snowden gave
to journalists in Hong Kong before he was granted asylum in Moscow also
ended up with the Chinese and/or Russian governments.

But that conclusion is entirely unsupported by the evidence; it’s a political smear that even the most alarmist Obama administration intelligence officials have not asserted as fact.

As Snowden has repeatedly explained, after turning over copies of the
heavily encrypted files to reporters, he destroyed his own before he
left Hong Kong.

Fleischer applauded Hillary's performance at the Wynn Resort in Las Vegas. The attack on individual rights is fully bipartisan. Those who dare to get in the way will be attacked. Hegemonic powers can assert without challenge. Evidence, who needs it?

Update 4-1-17: I awoke on April Fool's Day to learn the CIA can disguise its computer hacking as coming from America's political enemies, Russia, China, Iran and/or North Korea.
